As upcoming ES version will have new faceting implementation what are your favorite enhancements to existing facets of new facet types? Here are mine: - multi-filter and multi-filter-stats - calculate count or stats for each of multiple filters supplied in the facet config - Make terms-stats facet support aggregates (count, total etc) for missing and other categories the way terms facet does - Make terms facet to return all terms when size=0 like terms\_stats does - support terms and terms\_stats faceting on multiple fields (like SQL group by field1, field2) - Make terms, stats, terms\_stats facet to support calculation for multiple fields Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

My hopes are just for a simple refactor, no new types needed (for me). Right now, there is a lot of boilerplate code required if you want to create a new facet with several types (string, int, etc.). I can create my own facet types, but I would like to create them once and not have to refactor them if there is a top-level refactoring. Would like to translate some Lucene collectors I have over to Elasticsearch.
